FIG. 20 is a timing diagram illustrating an operation of executing the instructions shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B in response to a command & address ca.

Referring to FIGS. 8, 12, 15 and 17 to 20, when a command signal com in a command & address ca4 is a processing element active command PEACT, a row address rowa is “1” and a bank address ba is “0001”, memory cells of the memory cell arrays MCA of the even-numbered banks BA0, BA2, . . . , and BA14, corresponding to the row address rowa of “1”, may be selected. In addition, the processing element controllers PE0 to PE7 may be selected.

Next, when a command signal com in a command & address ca5 is a processing element read/write command PERW, a column address cola is “0” and a bank address ba is “0001”, memory cells of the memory cell arrays MCA of the even-numbered banks BA0, BA2, . . . , and BA14, corresponding to the row address rowa of “1” and the column address cola of “0”, may be selected. The processing element controller PE7 may execute a movement operation MOV in the instruction storage 22 corresponding to an index 0 in response to the processing element read/write command PERW to transmit the data V11 stored in the bank BA14 to the global input/output line group BGIO3. Each of the processing element controllers PE0 to PE6 may execute a multiplication-accumulation operation MAC based on an instruction in the instruction storage 22 corresponding to the index 0 to add result data obtained by multiplying each of the data D11 to D18˜D71 to D78 stored in a corresponding one of the even-numbered banks BA0, BA2, . . . , and BA12 and the data V11 stored in the even-numbered bank BA14, and data stored in the storage area REG0 of the register REG, to generate processing operation result data result and store the processing operation result data result in the storage area REG0 of the register REG. In this manner, until a command & address ca13 is applied, when a processing element read/write command PERW is applied as a command signal, a bank address ba of “0001” is applied and a column address cola which of “1” to “7” is applied, processing operation result data result may be generated by accumulating result data obtained by multiplying each of the data D11 to D18˜D71 to D78 stored in the even-numbered banks BA0, BA2, . . . , and BA12 and each of the data V21 to V81 stored in the even-numbered bank BA14, and the data stored in the storage area REG0 of the register REG, and then stored in the storage area REG0 of the register REG. That is, processing operation result data of ((D11×V11)+ . . . +(D18×V81)) may be stored in the storage area REG0 of the register REG of the processing element controller PE0. Processing operation result data for the eight data of each of the second to seventh rows of the matrix A in FIG. 17 and the eight data of the first to eighth rows of the matrix B in FIG. 17 may be stored in the storage area REG0 of the register REG of a corresponding one of the processing element controllers PE1 to PE6.
